In Aún no somos escombros (2016), Regina José Galindo appropriates the historical memory
of the women who, after the end of World War II, cleared the rubble from
buildings in German cities destroyed by bombing in order to clear the streets
or recover materials for new construction. The image of smiling women working
hard, determined to clear the rubble with shovels and buckets or with their
bare hands, is present in many historical reports, school books, film and
television documentaries. In fact, in the postwar years became a constituent
element of German history and an icon of its collective memory.
